New Guy from Wisconsin
Hello, My name is Luke Bruheim, and I am 31. I live in Appleton, Wisconsin (near Green Bay). I enjoy Building cars, and fabricating. I spend most of my time in my garage. I do not like to buy new parts for my projects, I like to make them whenever possible. I like traditional styled cars, rat rods, and drag racing. I am currently building a 1935 Chevrolet pickup that has a lot of influence from that Jimmy Shine truck. When my truck is done I plan on building a 32 roadster that will be very different. anyways I joined to steal ideas and learn some stuff, Maybe I will have something to teach somebody else. But I'll try to help if I can anyways.... LUKE
There is a ton of pics of my truck at .....

I like the 409, it's unique.
I don't know much about 409's, but how do they stack up against a wedge motor like a small block chevy or a big block. I thinking in terms of weight, power, rpm capability, combustion chamber efficiency.

Okay Big B, for you and anyone else interested in Shine, here's a pic of his latest truck. Seems his notariety has gotten him in good with Ford Motor Co. This truck was on display in Ford's booth at SEMA. Not only does it have stacks coming thru the hood, "weed burners" under the rockers, louvers on the bed side and tailgate, and custom made Boyd wheels too emulate the jumbos on his "old" truck, but it also has an interesting treatment on the paint. Looks as though he took the factory pearl grey, and took some scotchbrite to the clear coat to give it the suede look. And of course the iron cross motif on the sides.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Hello neighbor, I just joined too. Looks like you got a cool project there. I went to tech school in Green Bay for auto body repair, and worked in a couple different body shops over the years but last 5 years been mostly working for yacht builders doing bodywork on aluminum parts.
Yeah, I didn't want to register for the show until I knew we would be finished so by the time I reached out they where full with 30 cars on the wait list, next year I guess? We are also supposed...
